<div dir="ltr">Linda, I think it depends on if they are bothering Buddy or not. If they're sebaceous cysts, they can rupture and cause a mess. Someone has been discussing that on the Drool recently. If the lumps are fatty tumors, it's probably fine to leave them. Hopefully your vet can tell you.<div><br><div>Our pack is doing fine. Beau (rescue basset mix) has lost most of his vision due to dry-eye syndrome. He is such a trooper though. Some carpet runners have really helped him navigate around the house. He goes out by himself, roams around. It hurts my heart, but I know that they don't rely on their eyes as much as we do. He's such a darling about getting drops and his eyes cleaned out about 5x per day!</div><div><br></div><div>Noodle (purebred rescue basset) is still ruling the roost. She and Beau are both ~11 now. In my experience (having had four girls and two boys), the girls are such drama queens! They boys are all much more laid back.</div><div><br></div><div>Chance (German shep/Aussie/Great Pyr mix) is currently at the vet today. He didn't eat for two days, can't poop. Definitely something wrong there. I hope they get him straightened out. He feels bad, we can tell. Hope to heaven that it doesn't cost much (yeah, right!). We do have a great vet, though.<br><div><br></div><div>We send healing drool to all in need, humans and houndies alike!</div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Susan</div><div>at the house: Beau & Noodle</div><div>at the vet: Chance</div><div>ATB: Sophie, Jolie, Gigi</div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
